Hi, I'm Rodney. My life is firmly centered on Christ, and as a pastor, tech professional, and lifelong guitarist, I look for ways to serve others in everything I do. In 1989, I started my guitar journey, but unlocking the entire fretboard is what truly revolutionized my playing. Blending my love for music with my tech skills, I originally built FretTrain to help my son memorize his notes. However, I quickly realized I had created something much bigger: a powerful tool capable of mapping out virtually any stringed instrument and tuning. Seeing how incredibly useful it was, I knew I couldn't keep it to myself—I had to share it.
